It wasn't long before she left the gathering, finding the need to know who was leaving irrelevant. She had done her part, and now she was gone. A sauntering wave dissipating into the shadows. In many aspects, she was a ghost. Quietly lurking through the mist laden forest, her hollow eyes filled with nothing and absolutely everything at the same time.
Loey stood quietly now, her bones pulling into the elegant stance her lineage passed unto her. It had been many days since the fall of the old Taiga, the dust of its past now curling into the sky and choking out the light. Brilliant rays of golden sun were now replaced with dark tendrils of cool fog. Each sunlight spot a now dark cave, waiting to wrap its claws around you and take you in.
The monsters that lurked within these dark spots hissed and snarled, the clamping of their invisible jaws growing familiar quickly. Quick darts of something in the corner of her eyes became routine. SO much so that when the pale king stepped into her view, she was not surprised.
Loey took a moment to drink in the alabaster stag, his glowing red eyes locking within her own murky gaze.
"I suppose that is what it was."
She replied voice void of the emotion it possessed so long ago. The excess of sound did not go un noticed by the stone colored mare, her muscles tingling with the airs change. His eyes are alight with flame, a beckoning one that pulled her in.
"I simply desire to be part of something greater."
The fire is gone and she is staring at him once more. This stallion was a tricky one, one used to getting what it was he truly desired.
This was not a feeling Loey was used too. She began to pace, dark hooves dragging slowly as she made ruts in the soggy earth. Much of what she wished was things he could not give to her.
The child she had lost, the strength she lacked, or the zest she once held for life.
"I wish for you to accomplish what ever goals you have set for the Taiga. For yourself..."
She stops, the slow drag of her gaze to the ground almost daunting. The thick silver of her forelock falls, curling over the cracked smile she offers the pale wolf.
"This is your land now Gryffen. Make them know."
(((I hope that was alright <3)))
